m-x list-packages function limited

[Jude DaShiell]

It cannot search 3rd party archives.  With elpa first in archive-list 
searching by filter for a package unique say to melpa or marmalade simply 
returns message package isn't here even if the package is in one of the 
archives.  I tried this with dismal but was able to install dismal using 
m-x install-package <ret> dismal.  Actually I think it got dismal from 
elpa but dismal although it builds does not run since it's missing 
dismal-mode-defaults (either not in the archive or not extracted for the 
build).  All in all, this has been informative for me at least if nothing 
else.  I moved marmalade to last position in my archives-list so m-x 
package-refresh wouldn't trip over it and its access error on the way to 
melpa too.
